The Duchess is now available for pre-order from Industria Mechanika! This 1/6th scale resin kit was designed as a companion to the popular Dystopic kit. Amazingly sculpted by Gene Campbell! Shipping March/April 2019.
Even though I’m slammed with concept design work on 2 different projects with 2 different companies (plus the occasional 3rd contract in the mix…), along with kids and other family priorities, I do still manage to get a personal piece in there once in awhile. Here is a new(er) one I found some time to finish off.
Higher res. and additional images on my Art Station page here.
While I’d like to spend more time on this stuff, it will have to stay on life support at the moment….
Enjoy!
Here is a link to a nice reminder by Adam Savage of Tested/Mythbusters fame, on the problem of recasting. I've posted about this issue before and Adam hits all the points perfectly. Thanks to Adam for picking up another kit! Here is the link!

I recently became involved in a project that requires/affords me the opportunity to dive back into my Entartete Kunst work to create a few pieces that, for various reasons, I had omitted from the first series. This is the first one that i have finished...and I won't get into any details regarding the project here, but there are a few more new EK images coming down the pipe in the near future.
Enjoy!

The inventory of the 1/6th Dystopic kit is also getting low, and my not be re-printed until late 2018, so if you are interested in that kit, now may be the time to pick one up!
Here are a few pics of a personal commission done for a client out in Toronto.:
The piece was created to celebrate the birth of the client's twins, a boy and a girl. The composition is similar to the Taijitu, the Chinese yin and yang symbol, and encompasses the idea of individual forces that are seemingly opposed are also complementary and interconnected.
As with other personal commissions I've done in this series, the final image was printed as an archival quality giclee on fine art paper.
Thanks to Matthew and Terry!
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery…but this isn’t cool! It looks like those clowns at “Dream Cast” are at it again...bootlegging my EK model kits! Last fall they had released copies of the three figures in the 1/8th scale EK Cosmonaut Series, and now they have managed to produce a knock off of the popular 1/6 scale Dystopic kit. These bootlegged kits are recast from an original kit, often using cheap materials and parts, so they are of an inferior quality. But more importantly, they are produced without consent, and completely cut the creators, Gene, myself and Industria Mechanika, out of the loop. So if you are interested in purchasing a kit, please order directly from Industria Mechanika at: industriamechinka.com
